He is Adjunct Assistant Professor of Architecture at Columbia University, where he has been teaching since 2013, as well as the H. Deane Pearce Visiting Assistant Professor at Texas Tech in Fall 2020. Aragüez holds a PhD in the History and Theory of Architecture from Princeton University. Previously, he graduated with a Master of Architecture and Urbanism from University of Granada, Spain (Honorable Mention, University Graduation Extraordinary Prize, and 1st National Prize in Architecture) and, from Columbia GSAPP, with a post-professional Master’s degree (Honor Prize for Excellence in Design) and a Graduate Certificate in Advanced Architectural Research. Aragüez has lectured extensively across Europe and North America—including most of the top schools—in addition to the Middle East and Japan. Besides Columbia and Texas Tech, he has taught at Cornell, Princeton, Rice University in Paris, and University of Granada. His recent five-year project, culminating in the publication of The Building (2016, Lars Müller Pub.), is widely regarded in international circles as one of the most significant contributions to architectural discourse in the 2010s. His writings have also appeared in eFlux, LOBBY, Flat Out, European Architecture History Network Proceedings, Pidgin, and The Routledge Companion to Criticality in Art, Architecture and Design (Routledge, 2018). In the past, Aragüez worked as an architect for Antonio J. Torrecillas (Spain), MVRDV (Rotterdam), and Idom/ACXT (London). Currently he is setting up his own architectural firm between New York City and Paris.
